I recently had an appeal granted and received the payment by direct deposit, a few days later I received a noice of garnishment that took half of my payment. My question is if those funds are suppose to be protected what do I need to do in order to get those funds released. The actual court date is not until next month, but I would like to have this resolved and the money replaced prior to that time. Has anyone else even heard of a garnishment being imposed before the court date?

the garnishment was put in place for any future funds you may have coming to you. it was not implemented soley because of your impending claim. uncle is looking for money,he is grabbing tax returns at an alarming rate for student loans and anything else deemed collectible.

Despite current laws, creditors have been using court orders to garnish bank accounts receiving veterans' benefits via direct deposit. Federal laws currently in place protect veterans' benefits from being seized by creditors with few exceptions:

There are some things supposedly in the works to protect veterans' bank accounts from unlawful garnishments, and the banks, but until that happens the one way to ensure garnishment doesn't occur is to get a check instead of direct deposit.

If the garnishment is for a debt to the government they will deduct an amount from the check. So, yeah, GI Bill amounts due, medication or doctor/office visit copays & etc will be taken from any award. That money owed will also usually be taken from any tax returns as well.

Oh they are quick and rough on taking what is owed them. I was once a small business owner and every once in a while I'd get a letter from some agency telling me I had to garnish so and so's wages and send this amount to them. It said in the letter that if I chose not to do this they would come after me too, until the debt was paid, and if I fired the guy they would come after me. Talk about giving a guy some job security. We always worked it out.

If you owe Uncle, you WILL pay, or he will stomp you and those around you flat. Then again, I reckon he has to.

Of Course for child support they will take your money, But my question is WHY DO YOU MAKE THEM TAKE IT, I am only referring to Child support here, I don't care if you are a man or woman. SUPPORT YOUR CHILDREN after all you wanted them when you had them...Just because your not together as parents doesn't mean you should be a jerk to your children. You served your country for a reason right, IT shows HONOR and so many other things, WHY on gods green earth would you tarnish that by making the system chase you down so you can do the right thing by your children. This is not just a male issue...I know some females like this as well and its shocking. I know it sucks...but child support only lasts 18 yrs...you are a parent for life...do it with honor and dignity HOOAH

OMG did you just blame the fact your behind on your child support on PTSD???????? How lame...I am a female...who suffers from SC PTSD as well as other SC Issue's. PTSD does not give us the inability to handle money or make choices....what it does for me as well as many others i know is....Make us ANGRY all the time..I know my PTSD makes me harder to be around...I make lots of mistakes myself do not get me wrong...but to Blame your baby mama...is just slack...There are class's out there that can teach you how to manage your money, which is the real reason your behind...so you can not blame others for your lack of managing your own money.....PTSD does not cause money issue's...because most of us are too damn madd all the time to actually leave home to spend money.

johnjohn....my point is...STOP BLAMING YOUR BABY MAMA....you are the one who takes care of you and your money. Just like the rest of us here...unless you are unable to handle your own funds...you only have yourself to blame...for being behind and yes as a FEMALE who has served...it really piss's me off to constantly see males blame the female for putting them on child support...it is not that cut and dry never is....I am sure there is alot we do not know....but it is not all on her...that hardest part about having PTSD....FIGURING OUT WE CAN NOT BLAME OUR LOVE ONES FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO US. IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT YOU SUFFER FROM PTSD WE ALL MADE THE CHOICE TO SERVE.

Angry outbursts are very common with depression and ptsd. I lost it with a doctor yesterday due to pain caused by a test he was performing. Being upset over responses you get on a forum is a waste of time. I don't know your situation, but I believe it is a blessing to be able to catch up with child support.
